November meeting

I'm looking forward to the November meeting next week (Tuesday 7th November 8 pm). We have Elaine Cater coming to talk to us and show us some of her recent work. Elaine works on a Brother punchcard machine, but I believe the techniques she is going to be showing us can also be worked on a Knitmaster if you use that machine. I know Elaine is famous for her work using the Garter Carriage, but that's not all she does. I believe she will be using the lace carriage as well as other stitch structures that can be worked on a single bed machine. I haven't asked her yet if we can take photos, so if she agrees we'll post some up here and maybe a close up of some of the samples she will be demonstrating.

If there's anyone out there that finds this in time and would like to come along to see Elaine then you will be made welcome. The location is given on the left hand side, or if you need directions then post a comment and we'll get back to you.

Challenges

No Challenge for 2018. Instead we will be asking you to knit for two Charities this year.

The first will be for the Friends of the Royal Marsden, Sutton Branch. We have supported them since 1998 and will continue to do so by sending them knitted items, and other new things that can be sold on their regular sales tables. These goodies will be delivered to the hospital at the beginning of December in time for Christmas.

A second more local charity will be chosen at the AGM in September. The collection of knitted items will be made at the July and delivered to them as soon as possible after that.
